The season of action and activity is upon us

Deb Peacock

It is time to take action on the things we know, on the steps God has shown us, on the plan we are developing with God. Some of the plans are not yet concrete, not yet complete or still in progress, but it is action time for the bits we have. Don’t wait anymore for more strategy or more detail, step out in the bits you know. God has the whole plan clear and holds it in his hands and he will be releasing next steps to you in time. You can trust him with the plan. 

In Exodus 35, God breathes on people to give them wisdom, understanding and knowledge so that they have the strategy and ability to do the work. But earlier in this chapter is talk on the Sabbath. The people were equipped with living in the Sabbath before they took action. We need to remember this as we dive into action - Sabbath rest must exist in our lives to be able to run well in what God has for us. We are called to be sustainable and be able to persevere and we do this by living according to his ways.  

We also need to run back into God’s presence where we are spending time with him in his glorious presence, being filled afresh for it is here we receive the wisdom and ingenious strategy we need for our actions. 

So jump in! Dive into action according to the Lord but run to God for his breath, live from his provision of ingenious strategy for the next step after that.
